This essay investigates inflation and inflation uncertainty in Sweden from 1970:Q1 to 2014:Q4. GARCH models are used to generate a measure of inflation uncertainty estimated under the distributional assumption of Student's t-distribution and GED. The preferable model found for Swedish inflation was a EGARCH(1,1) estimated with Student's t-distribution. The coefficient of the asymmetry in t

This thesis presents the prototype of a search for new phenomena that decay in two jets, in presence of an associated jet (three-jet or trijet final state). Mass combination studies are carried out to reconstruct dijet resonances in different mass regions. The two models of interest are the composite quark, which contains a composite quark resonance Q, and the simplified dark matter mediator mod
År 2014 drabbades Västmanland län i Sverige av en allvarlig skogsbrand som växte till att täcka drygt 13 000 ha. På grund av vädersituationen klarade räddningstjänsten inte av att hantera branden, vilken resulterade i att bli den största branden i Sverige sedan mitten av 1900-talet.

Jordbruk är avgörande för människans överlevnad och idag står det inför många problem relaterade till både klimatförändringar och en ökande befolkning. Medan ökande totalskördar under 1900-talet har skapat förutsättningar både för global ekonomisk tillväxt och för befolkningstillväxt, har de jordbruksmetoder som används ofta fört med sig negativa konsekvenser både för ekosystem och människor. JordAgriculture is essential for human survival and today it faces many problems related to both climate change and an increasing population. While increased total yields during the 20th century have created the conditions for both global economic and population growth, the agricultural practices utilized have often had detrimental consequences both for ecosystems and people. The agricultural sector i
